Powerbeats Pro can now be preordered in more countries, including Japan, Spain, Norway, and several others, with an anticipated ship date of late July.

Powerbeats Pro can be preordered in several countries


In May, Powerbeats Pro went on sale in the United States and were released to the United Kingdom, France, and Germany in June. Since then, they have remained in short supply with current backorder times of up to two weeks in most online stores.

Powerbeats Pro can be pre-ordered in Spain, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Finland, Norway, Turkey, Japan, and Singapore. The delivery date is set to be around July 22.

Apple had hoped to release Powerbeats Pro in Spain and Japan in June, though they had missed the date by a couple of weeks.






The PowerBeats Pro feature an H1 chip, giving wearers the ability to instantly pair with their devices, Hey Siri functionality, auto-play and pause functionality, and can detect whether or not they are being worn in one ear or two. Users have the same amount of customization options as they do with AirPods as well.

The Powerbeats Pro are currently available in black. Navy, moss, and ivory colors are set to be released later this summer.

While we think the PowerBeats Pro are a great addition to your audio arsenal, we don't think they'll replace your AirPods any time soon, either.

    I am waiting for the ivory. A bit surprising that it should take this long.

    I’m holding out for moss. By later in summer, I’m taking it to mean September 19. If the SO likes it, might go for ivory myself.

    My gen 1 AirPods are starting to really degrade in performance now too. May have to bite the bullet for a 2019 model.

    I predict these will be Beats biggest hit.

    Take that you "Beats was a bad deal" parrots!

    Got the black ones a few weeks ago, and love them.  My last pair of Beats had pretty poor audio quality, but these are a lot more crisp.  Have no trouble staying in my ears, unlike EarPods which constantly fall out, and are very lightweight.  Use them when I run and go to the gym, and they’ve been great

    I’m about six weeks in, and no problems so far. Excellent sound quality and great battery life. 

    I replaced the the rubber ear thingies with memory foam ones for a more secure fit (I have very weird ears and one is a completely different shape to the other). 

    The lack of a connecting wire means you can move your head without getting it caught in your hair or on your shirt. 

    Be be a bit careful though; these things are loud. Much louder than the old model.
